Third North Shore Walk-A-Thon
To Cure Scleroderma, September 16

The Third Annual North Shore Walk-A-Thon To Cure Scleroderma will take place in the Town of Topsfield, Mass., on Sunday, September 16.

Sign-in will begin in the Proctor School Gym, 60 Main Street, starting at 10 a.m. where pledges will be turned in and T-shirts handed out. The Walk steps off at 12 noon, rain or shine. The close to three-mile route will take walkers down Main Street toward the Topsfield Fair Grounds, then turning onto country roads along the Ipswich River and back to the Proctor School for refreshments, games and entertainment. In addition to this course – The Highlander – there will also be a level course – The Flatlander – of equal distance set up behind the school

Prizes will be given to: the first person to finish each course; the youngest walker; and the oldest walker.

It is requested that completed registration forms be returned to the Scleroderma Foundation, New England Chapter, Office (462 Boston Street, Suite 1-1, Topsfield, MA 01983) before September 7 to ease the sign-in process on Walk Day. Registration forms and pledge sheets can be printed from this web page by selecting the appropriate link to the left.

To assist walkers in signing-up sponsors, the Chapter has arranged with Firstgiving to provide individualized on-line pledging pages. Walkers can set up their own page by selecting the “Firstgiving” link to the left. Walkers can e-mail the link to their page to potential sponsors they know throughout the world.

Last year’s North Shore Walk-A-Thon To Cure Scleroderma raised close to $50,000, which helped make it possible for the New England Chapter to direct $150,000 into research to finding the cause and the cure of scleroderma.
